Settings do not seem to be sticking

Keypass Portable 2.48

Despite me changing the settings, Keepass does not auto start, nor will it pull the last database and I have to manually find it each time.

Also in the screen shot attached, I have "start minimized" unchecked, but it doesn't matter. Regardless of that setting it does not autostart.

You may not have write access to the locations required for KeePass to save those settings.
The "open last database" information is stored in KeePass.config.xml, which should be in the same location as KeePass.exe.
The start automatically information is stored in the registry under the current user hive.

Do you get any error messages from KeePass when you close it?

cheers, Paul

I had to make sure I manually hit the save button after making changes. Even though the settings appear to stick, they don't unless I make sure and make the change and hit the save icon. Strange because if I DONT do that and go back into the settings, it appears to have changed, but doesn't (e.g. checked off use last database, yet when I open it doesnt bring up last used data base)

No other errors appear

KeePass saves the configuration when it closes, not on database save.
Check the config file (in Notepad) for the lines:

        <LastUsedFile>
            <Path>..\..\..\tmp\xxxx.kdbx</Path>
            <CredProtMode>Obf</CredProtMode>
            <CredSaveMode>NoSave</CredSaveMode>
        </LastUsedFile>

Are you running KeePass from a removable disk? This might explain the lack of auto-start.

Ironically, when I started my computer today, Keypass auto ran. I checked the setting of "start minimized and locked" and it is unchecked. Is there another setting?

I am running the portable version, but not from a usb drive

Based on your posts KeePass is probably saving settings. I suspect you are misunderstanding what the settings do.

• The setting that controls whether KeePass runs at startup is Run KeePass at Startup (current user) in Tools>Options...>Integration(tab).
• The setting Start minimized and locked controls whether the KeePass workspace is minimized and locked when it starts up. It does not affect when or how KeePass is started.

Thank you. This may be the case. Where and what are the settings that control auto starting?

? I posted the menu location. It is the highlighted text in the post.
